I have heard it said that winter, too, will pass, that spring is a sign that summer is due at last. See, all we have to do is hang on.

More quotes by Maya Angelou
It is better to control oneself, if one can, and not hit back. But on certain occasions, it is imperative to defend oneself. I don't think it's fair to ask anybody not to defend herself or himself.
Maya Angelou
I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.
Maya Angelou
Every Day you should reach out and touch someone
Maya Angelou
Whenever something went wrong when I was young - if I had a pimple or if my hair broke - my mom would say, 'Sister mine, I'm going to make you some soup.' And I really thought the soup would make my pimple go away or my hair stronger.
Maya Angelou
Inscribed on the temple of Apollo
Maya Angelou
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.
Maya Angelou
Don't let the man bring you down.
Maya Angelou
jealousy is conceived only in insecurity and must be nourished in fear.
Maya Angelou
I keep hitting the escape button but I am still here!
Maya Angelou
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
Maya Angelou
We are the victims of the world's most comprehensive robbery. Life demands a balance. It's all right if we do a little robbing now.
Maya Angelou
A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.
Maya Angelou
First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.
Maya Angelou
I've learned that forgiving is one of the greatest gifts that I can give myself.
Maya Angelou
And I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, Can I be of help?
Maya Angelou
The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.
Maya Angelou
People are too busy putting things under microscopes and so forth. Creativity is greater than the sum of its parts.
Maya Angelou
It's still scary every time I go back to the past. Each morning, my heart catches. When I get there, I remember how the light was, where the draft was coming from, what odors were in the air. When I write, I get all the weeping out.
Maya Angelou
I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy.
Maya Angelou
In order to be a mentor, and an effective one, one must care. You must care. You don't have to know how many square miles are in Idaho, you don't need to know what is the chemical makeup of chemistry, or of blood or water. Know what you know and care about the person, care about what you know and care about the person you're sharing with.
